Our league campaign has always seemed to be over by October so here’s hoping! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shire opening day wins have been few and far between over the years. Even in our last promotion winning season we only managed 1 point from the first three games. Best opening day I can remember was a 3-0 win at Dumbarton, under Martin Ferguson, which put us top of the First Division! On the same day, Alex Ferguson's Aberdeen were beaten 4-1 at Dundee United, putting them bottom of the Premier Division and technically, one place above his brother! Might put some of this stuff in my next Nimmo's Notes, in the programme, so if you buy one, forget you've already read this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaguely remember us winning 5-3 at Stranraer on the opening day of a league campaign in the 1990s. Will need to check. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimmo's Notes Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Didn't Charlie Lytwyn score at hat trick, possibly, that day? There have been a few opening day wins but not many. One at Stirling Albion I think (all seems to be away wins!). Won the first three games under John Coughlan, once but promotion winning seasons NEVER start well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigiemack Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 Anybody abroad can watch the game on ShireTV, that includes any BSC Alloa fans. Or should I say committee members? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigiemack Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 Am awful game that I think both teams were too scared to lose in all honesty. I’m not one to criticise referees but that was poor today, some of the decisions awarded for both teams was laughable and some of the non decisions even more. BSC were a gang and we fell into the battle, they won’t be anywhere near winning the league but they’ll definitely cause the big teams problems. Imperative that we win the next two games now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might not be anywhere near winning the league this season, but judging on today's performance neither will you. You'll run out of steam before we reach the half way point. Too many old legs in your team IMO. Not too sure about a gang but were a team and judging on today's showing (especially in the second half) a better team than you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully by the time we get to Bonnyrigg in two week our players realise in this league you have to win the battle first before you win the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt you have a much improved squad to last season and I expect you to improve your league position. Craigiemack is full of shite though calling us a gang. We were the league's top scorers last season and finished a comfortable second. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think either team looked good today, even though you had more of the ball second half I was never scared we’d lose a second goal. The ball must’ve spend 99% of the game in the clouds, just endless hoof ball from both teams in the second half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made a sub today and not one single person clapped, a boy in the crowd even commented and the crowd goes wild. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
